The herdsmen's pastures moved to the vicinity of Bansheng City, and Mongolians often appeared in several Bansheng areas.
The yurts outside Bansheng City are connected together. There are countless herds that appear nearby every day, and there are a few fishy smells floating in the air.
"Taiji, the last tribe has arrived, and many Taiji have joined us voluntarily. Their tribe is just outside Bansheng City." Wo Lunkuo stood in front of Su Nang and reported.
"How many string control warriors are there in total?" Su Nang asked.
At the same time, he opened his arms and let the guards around him pierce his armor.
The style of the armor is very similar to the Mingguang Armor, but except for a few vital parts of the body that are protected by iron sheets, the other parts are leather armor with some gold and silver threads sewn on it, making it look majestic when worn on the body.
Wo Lunkuo said respectfully: "There are too many people coming, so it's hard to count the number, but there should be between five and six thousand people."
"That's enough." Su Nang said, putting on his iron helmet and saying, "Send the order and send troops to Daheihe."
Wo Lunkuo asked: "Why don't we wait for Kankantada and Batu, the two Taijis? I'm afraid it will take a few days for them to arrive."
"The string-controlling soldiers under my command are enough to capture a small fortress. There is no need for them." Su Nang said disapprovingly.
Wo Lunkuo saluted and said: "The general will gather the army and send troops to Daheihe immediately."
"Go." Su Nang waved his hand.
The guard at the side handed over a scimitar inlaid with a lot of gold and agate.
Su Nang took the scimitar, hung it on his waist, and walked out.
The sound of horns was heard outside the city.
The sound spread far away, and horns were also blown near the yurt outside Bansheng City.
The Mongolian army outside Bansheng City began to gather, and some herders began to herd herds together, ready to go out with the army at any time.
The Mongols have not had a war for many years. Although the horns have been sounding for a long time, the Mongolian soldiers in the middle of the yurt looked very messy. After a long time, the entire team was not completed, and many Mongolian soldiers did not even mount their horses.
Su Nang rode a horse to the outside of the city, looked at the Mongolian soldiers running around, frowned, and said to the bodyguard beside him: "Go and find Wo Lunkuo."
The guard agreed and galloped away from the side on horseback.
Not long after, two fast horses came from a distance and soon arrived in front of Su Nang.
"Taiji." Wo Lunkuo saluted Su Nang.
At this time, he was wearing a leather armor, a breastplate on his chest, a scimitar hanging on his waist, an iron helmet on his head, a quiver on his back, and a riding bow on the horse beside his legs.
Su Nang said to Wo Lunkuo: "I ordered you, the commander of the front army, to lead a group of troops to Daheihe first, trap the people in the Dunbao, and not give the tiger-character flag a chance to escape, especially the tiger-character flag. The convoy of the Tiger Flag will never allow the people of the Tiger Flag to transport the goods from the Dunbao."
"The last general takes orders." Wo Lunkuo agreed, turned his horse's head, and went to his own troops.
Soon, a group of Mongolian cavalry left from outside Bansheng City and galloped towards the Dahei River.
Wo Lunkuo was just the bodyguard general beside Su Nang, and Tai Gui, who had some strength, couldn't command him at all, so only the string-controlling soldiers from Su Nang's headquarters, about a thousand of them, were taken away.
There are more than 5,000 string control soldiers under Su Nang. Some Taiji who do not belong to Su Nang's line came to the vicinity of Bansheng City and joined Su Nang's team. They wanted to follow them to get some bargains, which made Su Nang's men There were nearly a thousand more people.
Such a huge army appeared on the grassland, and there were herdsmen marching with their herds. From a distance, it was dark, like a dark cloud slowly moving towards the Dahei River.
The army set out, and the news was quickly spread to all parts of the grassland by the surrounding sentries.
As a former soldier, Wo Lunkuo moved very quickly because he did not need to bring yurts and herds with him. Two hours later, he appeared near the Dahei River.
When the Mongolian army approached Daheihe Dunbao, Tusha's team was patrolling nearby.
A Mongolian cavalry consisting of a thousand people appeared, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard from a long distance away. Even before they saw anyone, they could feel the vibration of the earth.
"Captain, a large group of cavalry is approaching."
A cataphractist put his ear to the ground and listened for a while, then got up from the ground.
Tu Sha picked up the monocular telescope equipped with the armored cavalry battalion and looked into the distance.
Through the monocular, he saw large areas of flying dust. Based on his experience as a horse bandit on the grassland for so many years, such a large formation could have at least a thousand horses galloping on the grassland.
Putting away the monocular, he said to a cavalryman beside him: "Go back to the camp and report that the Mongolian army is coming. There will be at least a thousand riders, like the vanguard of the Mongolian army."
The cavalryman turned his horse's head, whipped the horse's back hard with the whip in his hand, and kept urging the horse under him to speed up.
Tu Sha said to the others around him: "Follow me and continue to monitor until you are sure whether the other party is really coming for us."
"yes."
The armored cavalry around him agreed.
Tu Sha did not stay where he was and waited. Instead, he led the cavalry around him to a dirt bag not far away, and once again used a monocular to observe the situation of the cavalry in the distance.
Through the monocular, he could already see that the large group of cavalry approaching in the distance were Mongolian cavalry, and he was very familiar with the dress of the Mongolian cavalry.
"It seems that the Mongols are serious this time." Vice-captain Zhang Zhong licked his lips with his tongue.
Tu Sha said: "The people above had expected that the Mongols were coming to attack us. Only then did about a thousand cavalry arrive. With Su Nang's strength, there must be a large group of troops behind them."
While speaking, he still did not put down the monocular in his hand, and was still observing the situation of the Mongolian cavalry.
"Do you think we can win?" Zhang Chong asked Xiang Tan Zaiwang.
Tu Sha thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but with the same strength, these Mongolians are not as good as the cavalry of our armored cavalry battalion."
"That's for sure." Zhang Chong said with a proud face, "We really think that the iron we have is for nothing. With the soft bows of the Mongols, unless an arrow hits the vital point, there is no threat to us at all. .”
Each cavalryman in the armored cavalry battalion has a breastplate made of iron plates to protect their vitals. The weapons they use are also forged from fine iron. They are very sharp and are infinitely stronger than the weapons in the hands of the Mongolian cavalry who are short of iron. How many times.
Although there are not many armored cavalry who use muskets, each of them carries a few short axes or short spears to ensure damage to the enemy at medium and close ranges.
"Withdraw, it has been confirmed that this Mongolian cavalry is coming for the fort here in Dahei River." Tu Sha waved to the people around him, indicating to retreat.
Dozens of cuirassiers around him turned their horses' heads.
At this moment, Zhang Chong suddenly said: "We have been discovered. The Mongols separated a group of cavalry and came towards us."
Tu Sha, who was about to leave, glanced in the direction of the Mongolian cavalry, then looked away and said, "Ignore them, let's go back."
"There are not many people on the other side, only a few dozen horses, we can definitely eat them." Zhang Chong licked his lower lip with his tongue.
